They used to be ok, but now I think most companies on ebay impersonate the OBX name to make sales. The best LS1 headers for the $$$ IMO are LPP. I would have gone that route if they came out with them sooner. pissed:evil:

OBX = Ebay quality

They are cheap for a reason. Save the time, money, and headaches and wait to put headers on until you can get some quality ones. American Racing Headers, Kooks, and even the newer Edelbrock stuff are all good quality and fit well.

I have no complaints with my kooks never heard of obx. I wouldnt buy a cheap pair. You dont want the header bolts to keep backing out or get a pair that rust. So far my kooks have changed in color some from heat but have no signs of rust.

Yep. As soon as I get the chance, I'm going with Kooks.

LPP are ok.

Check out the LPP stainless headers, they are T321 which is better than most brands that use T304. I think they are around $499 with stainless y-pipe.

Pacesetters are hit or miss. Some people have perfect fitment, some people have to heat and pry them off the floor boards.

Hmm. I thought all the second run pacesetters(with no double 02 bungs) were fine.

I've heard some good things about the new Edlebrock stepped long tubes. Like Tim said, Pacesetters are hit or miss. You can't go wrong with Kooks...just be prepared to spend some $$
